Re: language So to sum it up french to hindi......... vous = aap (you), aap se (with you), aapke(your) t' or tut = tu(you) or tum(you) or tera/tere(your) aime = pyar(love) OR pasand(like) je t'aime = main tumse pyar karti hoon je aime vous = hum aap se pyar karte hain correct me if I am wrong now some of the threads in Hindi will be Raat ka khana kya (bani) hai = whats for dinner tonight chalo naya khel khele = lets play a new game
Re: language Huma, I was stuck on translating copy cat ?? game thread started by you in hindi and couldn't remember whats the exact word for copy cat in hindi (chit chor??) tried a web search and came across this site: Wordanywhere Forum - phrase translation ( m-f) you might want to check it out. Found a nice request in there to translate couple of lines in hindi into english and the response to that request. Posting it here Question by marie Answered by radha hum khamosh the to majboor samajh liya , If I remain silent you interpret it as helplessness hum chup the to garoor samajh liya , If I remain quiet you interpret it as pride bus yahi galti thi apki , This is your fault hum itne karib the apke , I was so near to you fir bhi hume door samajh lia Even then you thought I was far
Re: language I think this idea is simply great. Good for you both, Huma and Blondie. Blondie, looks like you have a knack with languages. That was some quick sum up that you did, equating French and Hindi. Huma, how come you know French? Was it school or did you take it up as an extra language. I always had a wish to learn French and ended up learning German instead:icon_frown: Well, there is still time and hope and here seems to be a little opportunity L, Kamla
Re: language Hi, This is really wonderful idea and informative too.. i can learn new languages here after.....Gr8 Thanks, usha
Re: language hi huma, A very nice idea. the only catch is when u write french and then spell it, it sounds different isn't it? i mean the pronounciation is very different from how u write it na? Still i'm looking forward to read and learn from here :goodidea: maybe u can teach us how to pronounce it also. As for hindi it's not difficult at all... u can ask us anything u want to know :2thumbsup: :wave
Re: language hi Pushpa thank u. its tu .......not tut aimer....... its a verb.........love or like amour....noun.....love je vous aime .... hum aap se pyarkarte hain dear Kamla I was brought up in France thats why i speak fluently french. and Archi i agree with u.... talking and writing is very different but what can i do abt it? bye
Re: language Hi Huma, thanks for the correction. Last week my son made a badge for me it says some thing like: je aime ma mere = I love my mom?? (he made it in his introduction to foreign languages class). now coming to Hindi game of public personalities = Khel prasidh vyakti ka game = Khel of = ka public = prasidh (here assuming famous) personalities = vyakti (here assuming people) it is hard to do a word to word translation as you can see we cant fit in 'Ka' at the place 'OF' it comes at the end. If you post a sentence that you want to learn to say in hindi that will be good. Now how should i respond to my son in french?? I want to learn to say I love my son. Kamla, thanks, looks like the years of teaching both my kids comprehension and memory tricks are paying me off in my senior years.... Pushpa
